I'm looking to improve my documents syncing setup. Currently I'm using owncloud, but that seems overkill for just files syncing and it requires maintenance, so I gave Syncthing a look. The "Untrusted device encryption" was not appealing to me because I'm not convinced by the security aspects yet, and also because it is in beta for now. I used gocryptfs [1] in the past and was quite happy with it, so I'm planning to use it on top of Syncthing to have files synced encrypted. As far as I have read this setup (Syncthing + gocryptfs) seems to be used by several people and has already been discussed by gocryptfs' author, who recommended a `-sharedstorage` flag for such use case [2]. Reading [3] I think gocryptfs is more suited for files syncing than cryfs. I'm aware that the metadata (file size, structure, …) of my files are not encrypted but that's a compromise I'm ready to make.
I would be happy to hear about opinions about this approach.
You comment may have been useful if you would have said how and why they are awful and broken. For now it is just a rant without any supporting arguments.
> Many of the people I speak to learned late in life that their inner voices were not the norm. For years, Worrall thought that other people also had attics in their brains.
I went through exactly the same situation around 10 years ago, but it was about mental imaging. Do you know people can actually visualize and see things when they close there eyes? You probably do, but it took me 25 years to figure out that for most people closing their eyes is not like closing a black curtain.
Since then I'm convinced that not two brains experience the world the same way. Inner voice and mental imaging are probably two of the many things we assume to be the norm.
This will open the repository under the current path in a maximized magit window.
The only downside I have for now about magit is when using `pre-commit` it can run for long sometimes, so it would be nice to see the progress/output of pre-commit while waiting for the commmit message buffer to appear. If you know a way I'm all ears.
There is also "tsfresh" [1] in the same domain that does «Automatic extraction of 100s of features». It filters the most useful features according to the given task, I quote: «This filtering procedure evaluates the explaining power and importance of each characteristic for the regression or classification tasks at hand.»
> We clarified our definition of commercial usage in our Terms of Service in an update on Sept. 30, 2020. The new language states that use by individual hobbyists, students, universities, non-profit organizations, or businesses with less than 200 employees is allowed, and all other usage is considered commercial and thus requires a business relationship with Anaconda.
Looks like small companies are exonerated from commercial license.
I totally resonate with your reaction. I wrote a response to their email out of hopelessness. Pretty sure it won't be read, but as it summarizes my thoughts I can post it here as well:
> Hi Shannon,
> I thought for some years that Autodesk was a smart company.
> Most people I know in the makers community were using Fusion 360 because it was free, and when you are a hobbyist this makes a big difference, you are not gonna to spend hundreds of dollars for simple side projects. Your previous approach of allowing people to use Fusion 360 for free unless they made money out of their project was really smart. These people were anyway not going to be your clients so you (almost) did not "lose" money, and on the other side they got used to your product so when moving to a professional environment they would push for Fusion 360. It was kind of a win-win approach, with the additional effect that Autodesk looked like a hobbyist-friendly company.
> Today you did not just break the main use-case for hobbyists by disabling the export in DXF, but you also showed that you prefer to spend money to block existing features of your software instead of improving it with new paid features. That's an indicator that you don't care about the product itself anymore, but that you are just trying to extract the maximum money out of your current users instead.
> I don't see the point to support a company like that anymore, so I deleted my account. It is now useless anyway.
> You did not only lose a user, you lost my trust. And probably not only mine.
> We're even preparing for a complete lockdown, I (this weekend) received an official document that allows me to travel between my home address and work.
Interesting, are you in Switzerland? After the press conference on Friday I thought the federal council does not want to go to the direction of complete lockdown because it would not be useful because it would not respected.
Indeed, I wanted to point out that all countries seem to go through the same process over time.
It's somehow like all countries are adopting the limitations gradually, like a bit of denial that it will really happen. Wouldn't it make sense to skip some steps and be proactive? At the end we all seem to take the direction of Italy [1], maybe we should consider quarantine directly. It may be a bit more brutal, but it will cost less lives and be over sooner.
The federal council is meeting on Friday morning if I'm not mistaken, I would not be surprised to see new measures during Friday lunch.
Congrats for this work! I haven't read the page far enough before commenting it seems (: Anyway, I hope this offered 13 minutes of fun to some HN readers
Numberphile's videos are excellent, a lot of people are probably already following their channel. But this one stands out. It's a delight to watch, I can try to convince you, but the best is to give yourself a 3 minutes try, you'll get hooked as well :)
The device is reliable, the screen is amazing, the USB connectivity brings a lot of value and the community on SwissMicros' forum are passionate HP people.
I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just an happy geeky customer :)
